“I love Yoga, and sharing its light to manifest positive changes to this world is my life-path.”

Bruce led a typical pedestrian life, with two degrees in Engineering and an MBA. In 2006 he studied Reiki and then Mindfulness training and so began his journey into conscious and mindful living. This was followed by further esoteric and traditional studies; eventually leading him to Yoga.

In 2011 Bruce became a certified teacher of Vinyasa Yoga taught by Cherryl Duncan and Sarah Bentz of Living Yoga. Their teachings inspired him to teach others to experience Yoga. In 2013, to enrich his teachings, he completed the international Jivamukti Yoga 300hr teacher training course with Sharon Gannon and David Life. In 2014, he followed this up with a course in traditional Yoga meditation run by Abhyasa Ashram.

His love for Yoga now reflects through his teaching with emphasis on the Yogi’s individual requirements, irrespective of their level of practice, and acts as a “guide” for the Yogi on their journey.

His current interests relate to all aspects of Yoga, traditional Yogic practices, mantra, knowledge, devotion, with emphasis on pranayama and meditation.

All the teachings of Yoga are within our fabric and Bruce encourages students to rediscover the joy of Yoga for themselves through their own regular practice on and off the mat. Yoga unites us back with our creative source, and only the student can do this for themselves, becoming their own teacher.

“Yoga is a personal journey and it is my honour to guide students with confidence and joy on the path that is Yoga

To me Yoga is learning to use the body more skillfully. Over time what was difficult becomes easy, what was awkward becomes familiar, so I keep working with more and more difficult and crazy postures. The point is not these postures though, I’m looking for a very specific response from my body; Discomfort. The Body/Mind can feel uncomfortable for many reasons;
– Maybe I’m working really hard and so gaining Strength and Endurance.
– Maybe a stretch is really intense, so I’m working into deep layers of tension.
– Maybe a posture is difficult or scary, so it brings up fear and limiting-beliefs I hold onto: (I can’t do this, I’m not strong enough, I’m not flexible enough, etc)
In “sitting” with discomfort I often find stored long-term tension and emotions that no longer serve me and, at times, I am able to release and move beyond them.

I used to think of my body as a tool, something which I use as I want, now I think of it more in terms of a domestic animal that I have a relationship with. This relationship can be healthy or discordant. Some days my body is beautifully open and strong, other days it feels tight and week. I’ve had to learn compassion to allow my body it’s seasons. I believe strong, vigorous exercise helps to release daily tension, burning off excess “flight/fright” chemicals in the body, so in my classes I like to juxtapose strong, intense work with deep, relaxing release.
